What you are leaving out

It is less about how good the football program is and more about the national brand. And where UNC is not Texas, their brand is just as big or bigger than OU. It seems Big Media is pretty confident that with their backing a whole lot of schools can be a lot better in football but creating a new national brand is a lot harder.

New bill would require UNC, NC State to play annually
RandomAsianGuy • 03/21/25 07:14 PM ET
I understand the sentiment, but such a bill is unenforceable

Once the two are separated, you are right.**
VTCALS72 • 03/23/25 12:21 PM ET
well if the conference wants team x they have to play with the state rules
1947Sunbowl • 03/22/25 10:22 PM ET
If a conference didn't allow the schools to play, then arguably the schools

The last part is your speculation right? It sure isn’t in the article. **
Stech • 03/21/25 10:05 PM ET
Yes, everthing below the dotted line is mine. **
RandomAsianGuy • 03/21/25 10:52 PM ET
Nothing Burger. In fact, it's a downgrade from what was being said a year
Maroon Baboon • 03/21/25 09:10 PM ET
The point is UNC may not have a say about its travel partner.
RandomAsianGuy • 03/21/25 10:57 PM ET
"If UNC chooses"? SMH, they are not a Texas or Oklahoma my friend. **
Big12 guy • 03/21/25 07:20 PM ET
You don’t think the P2 want UNC?
RandomAsianGuy • 03/21/25 11:00 PM ET
OU and UNC are a wash **
VaTechHokiesACC • 03/24/25 02:03 AM ET
In football? Just a peek at history says otherwise. **
Big12 guy • 03/24/25 08:13 AM ET
No, it wasn't a B12 is better post. More it's a UNC isn't worth nearly as
Big12 guy • 03/22/25 07:06 AM ET
I hate UNC with a passion but that's not true **
VaTechHokiesACC • 03/24/25 02:01 AM ET
yeah that's incorrect.**
neworleanshoo • 03/22/25 02:59 PM ET
UNC is held in very high esteem and I hate saying it.**
MrFantastic! • 03/22/25 10:40 AM ET
Unc football has been an underachieving disappointment for the ACC.**
wwhokie1 • 03/22/25 03:02 PM ET

Not out here in flyover. **
Big12 guy • 03/23/25 03:16 PM ET
Exactly. This is the big thing with the networks.
Femoyer Hokie • 03/23/25 01:21 PM ET
I thought the Big 12 fans loved pundits talking about the demise of the ACC
RandomAsianGuy • 03/22/25 12:26 PM ET
Dude, picking a B12 ACC fight at this stage of the game is
Big12 guy • 03/22/25 01:28 PM ET
I mentioned B12 because you said pundits have been always wrong,
RandomAsianGuy • 03/22/25 07:02 PM ET
Yes. Wishful thinking In my opinion. **
Big12 guy • 03/22/25 08:26 PM ET
Well you’re wrong
MrFantastic! • 03/23/25 06:11 AM ET
Maybe, but not a single school you mentioned moves the needle in
